Results from yesterday

  • Test of antibiotic resistances of strains of last year
Strain Plasmid Extracted from Antibiotic use Observations Conclusion
DH5alpha PP182 tube Amp Many colonies Amp Resistance OK
DH5alpha PP182 plate Amp Many colonies Idem
MC1061 NONE tube Cm Nothing As expecting, no Cm Resist.
MC1061 NONE plate Cm Nothing Idem
MC1061 PNZ8901 plate Cm Maybe a few colonies Contamination??
MC1061 PNZ8901 tube Cm No colonies no Cm Resist.


  • Transformation of E.coli with different plasmids from last year
Strain Inserted plasmid Antibiotic Observation Conclusion
E.coli I746000 Amp No colonies Antibiotic resistance unknown, no Amp Resist., Pb : no terminator
E.coli I746100 Amp No colonies Antibiotic resistance unknown, no Amp Resist., Pb : no terminator
E.coli I746001 Amp Many colonies Transformation OK
E.coli I746101 Amp Many colonies Transformation OK


Wet Work

Antibiotic test for Bacillus resistance

We want to find the lowest concentration of antibiotic which kills Bacillus.


Dilution of Amp. [ 1:1000 means 1 part stock to 1000 part Sterile Distilled Water ]

Concentration (μg/mL) 100 75 50 25 10
100 mg/mL Stock 1:1000 3:4000 1:2000 1:4000 1:10000

Dilution of Cm. [ 1:1000 means 1 part stock to 1000 part Sterile Distilled Water ]

Concentration (μg/mL) 35 25 15 10 5
100 mg/mL Stock 1:1000 1:1400 3:7000 1:3500 1:7000
  • Add Disks in antibiotic solution for 5 mins [ Protocol to sterilize tweezers : Wipe with Kimwipes, Ethanol, Flame ]
  • Melt Soft Agar
  • 3mL SA + 10μL Cells 1A1 from LB prepared on 23/7/08
  • Pour SA+Cells over blank hard agar plates
  • put disks with different concentration of Amp/Cm above SA
  • Incubate at 37°C

Results [Plates were prepared before lunch, at 5pm there were visible growth] -Amp Plates: Huge rings of no growth around 100, 75, 50, 25, and 10. -Cm PLates: Tiny rings of no growth around 5, 10, 15 and 25. Small ring of no growth around 35 but not well defined. (No clear zones)

Single Colony

  • Single colony of I746001 and I746101 tranfered into 10mL LB [with 100μg/mL conc. of Amp.]
  • Single colony of I746001 and I746101 streaked from Amp 100 plate to Kan 25 palte (to test for Kan resistance as well)

Incubate overnight at 37°C
